London, UK. 22 December 2016. Some of the"M14-15" who blocked the motorway into Heathrow in a protest against the third runway, saying that airport expansion is a crime against humanity and our future on the planet come outside to meet supporters as the court adjourns for lunch. They pleaded "guilty, but only guilty of standing up to climate injustice" and say the real crime is the expansion of airports, which will benefit the small number of rich frequent fliers but will break emission laws causing thousands of premature deaths, undermine global efforts to combat climate change, result in the devastation of local communities and generate extra noise and traffic that will cause misery to millions. They were later given a conditional discharge, with two who pleaded 'not guilty' coming up for trial in February. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
